What you have so far is perfect. You started with the given statements and then use the definition of midpoint to show that each piece is equal to one another.

From here, use the transitive property

We combine these two statements

  • WX = XY
  • XY = YZ

into the following

WX = YZ

So we can effectively say WX = XY = YZ meaning the segments WX, XY and YZ are all the same length.

Through similar logic, we can chain together

  • VW = WX
  • WX = XY

to get VW = XY

-------------

Consequently this means VW, WX, XY, and YZ are all the same length

Let's call that length m.

m = length of segment VW = length of WX = etc etc

This means,

VY = VW+WX+XY = m+m+m = 3m

and

WZ = WX+XY+YZ = m+m+m = 3m

Both VY and WZ are exactly 3m units long, therefore, VY = WZ

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Only one circle can be drawn through three non nonlinear points, No circle can be drawn through three nonlinear points

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle has a curve. As long as the three non nonlinear points both have the same amount of distance from the center of the circle it can be a circle drawn. No circle can be drawn through three points on the line.

I really need help with this 6th grade work due today
DIA [1.3K]

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Length (L) = u

Breadth (b) = 6 mi

Perimeter (P) = 22 miles

Now we know

P = 2 (L+ b)

22 = 2 ( u + 6)

11 = u + 6

11 - 6 = u

u = 5
